[Verse 1]
I've had some bummer days
But I ain't lookin' back
I've made a few mistakes
But I'm on the right track

[Refrain]
I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I'll make
My date with destiny
'Cause I don’t wanna be late
Here we go

[Pre-Chorus]
I might take my time
'Cause I find the fable had it right:
Slow and steady wins the race
And I might lag behind
But I swear I'll cross the finish line
Movin' at a steady pace

[Chorus]
I'll give it all I've got
I don't have a lot
But I know a little goes a long way

[Verse 2]
The truth is hard to face
But I can take a hit
I've lost in many ways
But a winner don't quit
My head is in the game
And the move is mine to make
But I am not afraid
'Cause I'll fight the good fight

[Refrain]
I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I’ll make
My date with destiny
‘Cause I don’t wanna be late
Here we go

[Pre-Chorus]
I might take my time
'Cause I find the fable had it right:
Slow and steady wins the race
And I might lag behind
But I swear I'll cross the finish line
Movin' at a steady pace

[Chorus]
I'll give it all I've got
I don't have a lot
But I know a little goes a long...
I'll give it all I've got
I don't have a lot
But I know a little goes a long way

[Outro]
I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I'll make
My date with destiny
'Cause I don't wanna be late

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
